Overview

The National Executive Committee (NEC) is the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party. The primary purpose of the NEC is to provide strategic direction for the Party as a whole and to work in partnership with the Party’s representatives in Parliament, the devolved administrations and local government to secure the Party’s objectives across the country. It is made up of representatives from each section of the Party – the Cabinet, MPs, Councillors, Trade Unions, Socialist Societies, Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs), Young Representative and BAME Representative. NEC members are elected by their respective constituencies, and each serves a two-year term.
